Welcome!! Deronda here with foods 101. Today, I'm going to show you how to make a fruit pizza. It's like a dessert.
Absolutely delicious. Got this recipe from my cousin named Sharon Kaye. So big shout out to her.
The ingredients you're going to need is a 14 ounce package of your already made cookie dough.
You can buy this in the refrigerated section of the supermarket. The recipe calls for a sugar cookie, but
I'm using the marshmallow sugar cookie. One cup of rinsed and dried blueberries, one cup of powdered sugar,
1 tablespoon of cornstarch. If you want to substitute this with all-purpose flour.
You may. One eight ounce package of cream cheese at room temperature, 1 cup of granulated sugar,
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 1 cup of rinsed, dried, and sliced fresh strawberries, and 1 cup of water. If you want to
substitute a fruit juice for the water. You may and you can omit the lemon juice.
So let me show you how we're gonna get this together.
I'm going to use a 10 by 15 inch pan to make my fruit pizza in. If you want to use a
12-inch round pizza pan.
You may. Generally make sure you get that butter around on the bottom and on the sides of your
pan. Take the cookie dough. Put it right in the center and using your hands
you're going to push it to the edge. If your cookie dough gets really sticky
you'll want to put it in the freezer and let it chill for a few minutes, so you can make sure you press it out
thin like this. Now off to a
350 degree preheated oven. On the middle rack for 15 minutes. Use your timer and no peeking. While your cookie
dough's baking you're gonna add your granulated sugar to a 2 quart saucepan, along with your flour or cornstarch.
Stir these two ingredients until they're well combined. Add
that 1 cup of water.
If you're not using your fruit juice.
You can add a little lemon to give it some really nice flavor. Stir these four ingredients
until they're well combined. Move your mixture over here to medium- high heat. Stir until it comes to a boil.
Continue boiling for one minute. Remove this off the heat, let it cool completely.
Look how delicious and golden that cookie dough baked up. It smells delicious.
You're gonna let this cool on a cooling rack for the next 20 minutes. In a medium bowl
I'm adding my powdered sugar with that softened
room-temperature cream
cheese. You don't want your cream cheese sitting out more than an hour to come to room temperature. With a hand mixer
starting on low, to make sure you don't get powdered sure all over the place, we're going to combine these two
ingredients until they're nice and
fluffy. You can start turning up your speed. You're gonna beat this for three minutes.
Be sure to scrape down the sides of you're bowl. After three minutes
look how light, creamy, and fluffy that is. Back with that cookie dough. Put that cream cheese
mixture.
We're gonna add it on here in dollops. Spread it until we get this lovely even
coat. It smells
absolutely scrumptious. It's ready for the
blueberries and strawberries. You can add your strawberries
however you like. I really like to show the outside of the strawberry, because I think it looks really pretty with all those little
tiny seeds that you get in your strawberries.
If you just want to toss them on here however you wish. You may. If you're thinking can I use
blackberries or red raspberries. You can. Use whatever kind of berry you like.
Got my strawberries at add. I'm just going to
strategically add
the blueberries. Make sure your blueberries are whole. You want to make sure that there's no bad spots in them.
After adding the blueberries we're gonna take our pan and
give it a tap. Gently push your fruit down into that cream cheese
mixture. Back with that cold syrup. We're going to add it right
over the top. This is a way to preserve your fruit.
Therefore, this is an excellent dish to make and put in your refrigerator
overnight, if you're serving it the next day. Love the colors here.
It reminds me of the fourth of July or
Memorial Day. A perfect dessert if you're using these red, white, and blue
colors. Tilt to the north, south, east,
and west.
This is off to the refrigerator to set up for the next hour, or overnight.
I've had this dessert chilling for an hour in the
refrigerator. I love using these plastic knives to cut that first piece out. It doesn't scratch your pans.
Everybody who knows me knows I love using these
plastic knives. That first piece is always a little difficult to get out. Looks here
how fantastic that is. Look at that cookie crust. YUM. That fruit just sits on there so
beautifully. Wow. Nice and crunchy bottom with cream cheese filling and fruit on top. You can't get better than that.
Scrumptious!!
Absolutely
delicious!!
A dessert that
anyone would love. Especially in the summertime with fresh blueberries and strawberries. A
beautiful dessert. I'm Deronda with foods 101. Give me a thumbs up.
